“Michael and Joanna were great. The communication was wonderful. They were very accommodating for Sunny and all of his energy. He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.”
“Great experience! Jenny was very responsive and communicated frequently. I like that she only watches one dog at a time so our pup got her full attention. Bailey was well cared for during her stay and enjoyed her time with Jenny! Highly recommend and we would book again!”
“Rob again is an outstanding sitter. He goes above and beyond. Plays with Nova daily and gives her so much love and care. I’m in a situation where is travel and he has taken on keeping her as I find her a new forever home.”
“Michelle and Otavio are very warm and welcoming care providers. They instantly put my precious pup and me at ease by inviting us into their home and demonstrating their natural pet charming talents. They also regularly shared photos and sent playful vacation stories written from my dog’s perspective. I would certainly request their service again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“So this was our very first time using the Rover app and services. Ms. Cheryl is one of the best pet sitters ever! She did an amazing job with making sure our Rocky was well-cared-for. She sent pictures and updates and any questions she had, she sent them to us before doing anything that could cause Rocky any stress. She also gave us grape tips ,advice and suggestions for how to better care for Rocky as a husky breed. She gave us such a great experience that we will definitely use her in the future. Ms. Cheryl, you rock!”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Great communication. Very friendly and wonderful with the pets (cat and dog). Felt very comfortable they were well taken care of during our week long vacation.”
“They were easy to communicate with and Bowie seemed to be having fun! They sent me pictures daily and were responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would use them again.”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Dezmond was so accommodating to our last minute request. Greeted us with a super friendly demeanor and Nani acted like she knew him for years! He took her on multiple walks and sent photos and videos which is always appreciated :) will definitely use his services again! Nani is currently passed out in the car from all the fun she had with him and his pups 🐾”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“I really appreciate Rae taking my pup on such short notice. She was a great communicator throughout the process & made me feel comfortable about boarding my dog with her. Highly recommend & will look to book with Rae again in the future!”

I have been leaving my dogs at Robs place for over a year now. My dogs are always excited when they get there and are always having a good time playing with the other pups there. Rob always sends videos of him walking our dogs and of them playing with others which is always great to see. I will continue using Rob for future stays!
Robert watched our dog Izzy and we had a great experience! It’s never easy leaving a senior pup with someone new, but he sent many updates and pictures, and she came home happy and exhausted! Highly recommend, we would love to leave Izzy with him again knowing she is in great, capable hands!
Cheryl cared for our dog Chewie with so much kindness and genuine love it truly meant a lot to us. You can feel when someone has a natural connection with animals, and she absolutely does. From the beginning, she made us feel at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your pet. We even needed to extend our stay by a night, and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating without hesitation. She also sent us frequent photos and videos, which made us feel so connected and reassured. Seeing Chewie happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for made all the difference. It’s not easy to trust someone with your dog, but Cheryl made it feel effortless. We’re deeply grateful for the love and attention she gave Chewie, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Truly a beautiful experience. Highly recommend!
Where do I start !! We boarded my dog for 3 nights for the first time and it went great! Liz and David made everything so smooth and easy. They have one playful dog and two kids that make the experience even more fun for your doggy! They followed her usual routine as close as possible for feeding and sleeping. They updated us with photos and text check-ins daily. So reassuring and relaxing to know your fur baby is not only safe but happy! She literally stared at their house as we drove away! I definitely recommend!
Cagatay and Busra were 1000/10 with our pups. We received photo and video updates while away on our long weekend, so much appreciated! Our two dogs were walked frequently and played with so much. We can't thank them enough for taking such good care of Balto and Corona.
Michele has watched my dog twice now, and she is absolutely wonderful. Our dog is always calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I return, which gives me so much peace of mind. Michele’s communication is excellent—she’s responsive, thoughtful, and keeps me updated. She’s reliable, kind, and truly fabulous. I feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. I will book her again and again!
I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family. Thank you so much Jonelle and family I know Topo had a blast!
